LIVERMORE FALLS – Water District trustees stood by their January decision about the road to Parkhurst Pond when they met Wednesday morning.

Last month, they had agreed to allow the road to be posted since it does not belong to the water district, which has only a right of way across it. Objections have been made to the district by Jay officials and residents, said both Superintendent Doug Burdo and Clerk/Treasurer Cheryl Marceau.

Burdo also informed the board that he will be taxed for $3,000 income, which the Internal Revenue Service says is the value of his use of the district’s truck between his home and the office. It appears IRS considers this to be a benefit to Burdo even though he has the truck at his disposal because the trustees consider him to be on call 24/7.

The board reviewed the 2003 capital expense budget, which included a pilot study, replacement of a water main on Elm Street in Jay, replacement of the one-ton 4×4 truck and a computer upgrade, for a total of $49,623.28.

Burdo will look further into ways to increase production at the treatment plant and report back at the March meeting.
